能力傾向測試Aptitude Test是甚麼？
大部分投行、銀行及大公司係收到同學嘅Application後，系統都會自動發送一個Online test或Video interview給同學完成。有部分公司，例如恒生Management Trainee，甚至需要你首先完成咗一個性格測試（Personality Test）先叫做完成咗個Applications！而呢類Online Test，無論考核嘅係Personality Test、Logical Test、Numerical Test或Verbal Test ，都可以稱之為能力傾向測試Aptitude Test。

能力傾向測試Aptitude Test點解咁重要？
簡而言之，如果你無辦法係Apt Test過關，無論你份履歷幾出眾都無可能過到Initial Screening！而從另一個角度而言，就算你份CV未夠好，如果你有能力完成Aptitude Test，都依然有機會打低其他競爭者，進入下一輪嘅面試！

常見能力傾向測試系統Apt test Systems
香港公司用緊嘅Apt test Systems其實有極多，以下就係2020／21年一啲常見系統及採用嘅公司：
● SHL （又名CEB/Gartner）；公司例子：恒生銀行管培生
● Cut-e ；公司例子：Credit Suisse、ICBC及UOB
● Talent Q；公司例子：UBS、Jardine、HKMA及SCB
● GradACE；公司例子：HKEx
● CUBIKS；公司例子：HKTDC
● CAPP System；公司例子：HSBC、Barclays及Jardines
● Professional Learning Indicator（PLI）system；公司例子：DBS
● Skyrise/ other game assessment system；公司例子：JP Morgan及PwC
● Big Boss: Oliver Wyman, IBM system、Wonderlic system
註：好多銀行及公司每年都會採用唔同嘅Apt test Systems，所以以上資料真係只供參考。如果大家唔肯定公司用緊邊個系統，可以睇下條Link，通常會透露咗係邊個系統！
經典Apt test類型
Apt test主要分為1.Personality Test、2.Logical Test、3.Numerical Test、4. Verbal Test 四種類型。當然啦，不同Apt test systems會按比例及各間公司嘅要求去特別測試同學以上各種能力，唔會只考其中一樣，其中以下常見嘅系統包括：
SHL: 算係中間偏易少少嘅Apt test，但大家記得SHL係2019／20出左新Update，新舊SHL System都有公司用緊，去做準備就要小心啲！
同學可特別留意新版SHL有以下兩類：
▶️新版一：SHL General Ability Test：呢個基本上係將Verbal、Numerical同Logical test合埋一齊去做，雖然題型都有改動，但同舊SHL大概都叫做類似，大家都會覺得熟口熟面。
▶️新版二：SHL Talent Central：Talent Central會分開Verbal、Numerical同Logical test，題型同Format同舊SHL可以話係完全唔同！其中一點係Talent Central強調互動（interaction)，唔會好似以前咁只係做選擇題（True/ False/ Can't Say）或MC
例如係數學題，佢會俾幾個Bar Chart你，然後俾啲Conditions你，要求你根據Conditions去拉動個Bar Chart嘅線去適合嘅位置，拉大或拉細個圖。所以同學要做嘅野就會同之前好唔同，如果同學唔係好熟習新玩法，就好容易會做錯啦，所以大家一定要練習一下個題型，唔好直接入去開始做！
又例如係Logical test，唔再係俾5 個圖型叫你搵邏輯，問你下一個圖型應該係咩。新玩法係俾圖型A同圖型B你，然後問你圖型A係點樣變成圖型B，跟住俾幾個答案你，叫你去選擇正確解答 🧐
Skyrise / Game Assesment：即係Personality test，大公司請人最怕用左一大舊錢請左啲無常識同無Sense，配合唔到公司文化嘅人，但係靠面試或AC短暫嘅接觸好難測試到大家嘅性格或個人做野合唔合理，所以係做Apt test或screen人嘅早期會加個Personality Test！
⭕Personality Test有無得預備？
性格測試似乎無得準備，始終性格測試唔同其他logical或numerical嘅Test，唔係話搵多啲source練多幾次就可以做到。畢竟性格測試唔會有標準答案，只係可以測試大家做選擇同做嘢嘅傾向。
但有一個Tips係同學做Personality Test前可以輕輕研究下間公司嘅文化，估計下佢哋想要咩類型嘅人，再盡量往呢個方面去回答問題。例如下面幾間公司，小編就列咗佢哋傾向會鍾意咩類型嘅人，同學做Personality Test時要諗下點樣展現自己呢方面嘅性格
⭕公司傾向：
✅恒生：銀行好怕有Compliance問題，所以好似恒生咁就好在乎同學嘅廉潔（Integrity）同誠實（當大家做Banking任何面試回答Behavioural Questions 時，都一定一定要以廉潔為先）
✅Deloitte 及KPMG：Big 4都係大公司，同事多，所以好重視大家嘅Teamwork，除此之外，Analytical、 fast-learning同Detail-minded亦好重要
✅Bloomberg：好似Bloomberg呢啲咁需要分析力嘅公司，當然需要大家係analytical同leadership style嘅人
✅P&G：P&G好鍾意醒嘅人，所以都係想搵勁有leadership同innovative嘅人 ，如果可以 think out of the box 同社交能力一流就更加分
✅Nestle：同樣要傾向Innovative 同teamwork嘅人
GradACE：考得比較多Numerical，算係比較難嘅Apt test，上年HKEX都用緊呢個System，如果同學有識朋友話做完HKEX個Apt test好懷疑自己嘅能力，唔好認錯，就係GradACE令到你咁難過！所以要Pass GradACE，最重要都係數口好！
Cut-e：同學需要參考6個Data File 完成30- 40題數學或者英文問題。同學仔可以先用30秒至45秒速讀各Data File 嘅內容一次，大概知道各Date File內容，當做問題時再對照返相關嘅Data File去揾答案。Cut-e問題難度唔係愈後愈難，如果遇到唔識既問題時，可以Skip!；Cut-e 嘅Logical Test就會用數獨形式考驗同學，開始嘅時候可以準備大量白紙，直接係白紙上畫會快啲。
Apt test必Pass秘技
注意系統是否會扣分：
不同Apt Test system的計分方法會有不同，同學遇上答錯不會扣分的系統，如SHL及Talent Q時，係時間唔夠嘅情況下，你可以試撞下答案，希望靠撞彩中返幾題；反之，同學若遇上答錯會扣分的系統，特別是Cut-e就絕對唔可以靠估撞答案，唔識做漏空比答錯反而更好！
留意答題時間：
不同Apt Test system亦有不同的答題時間限制，了解遊戲規則，可以幫助同學更易過關：
✅SHL：係限定時間內需要完成指定數量嘅題目，但因為個System比較容易，大部份（有準備既）同學都能夠完成全部題目，所以同學最好都要以完成所有題目為目標！
✅Capp System：雖然無指明要係限定時間內完成，但System 背後會計算同學嘅完成時間，盡快完成就最好
✅Cut-e：要同學係比極短嘅時間內做大量題目，只要完成八成左右題目己經可以，目標依然係要準確度夠高！
✅Talent Q：每一條題目獨立計時，所以壓力會比較大
